Caritas Society Fundraiser Celebrates the Life and Art of Marc ChagallThis event occurred in the past.

The Caritas Society of St. John’s College presents the fundraiser “A Movie and an Author,” featuring a short film screening and a book signing in celebration of renowned French artist Marc Chagall. The event will be held on Sunday, November 8 at 3 p.m. in the Francis Scott Key Auditorium and Lobby at St. John’s College.
The featured movie, “Chagall,” is a 1964 Academy Award winning documentary about the artist and is voiced by actor Vincent Price. Author Stanley Meisler will discuss and sign copies of his recent book “Shocking Paris: Soutine, Chagall, and the Outsiders of Montparnasse,” which tells the story of the School of Paris, a group of Russian Jewish artists in the 1920s and 30s who became a fixture on the Paris art scene. The Mitchell Gallery exhibition “Chagall: The Early Etchings from the 1920s” will also be on view and continue through December 17.
Doors open at 2 p.m. and a wine reception will follow the presentations. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Proceeds benefit Caritas Society grants for St. John’s College students in need. Tickets for a raffle basket of wine and gift certificates to area cultural events can also be purchased during the event.
